| It took 30 years after coming
home from Vietnam to realize I had a serious problem and that problem was
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I was one of those soldiers who
proudly thought the war had not affected me. After having 2 panic attacks
that put me in the emergency room at a local hospital it was obvious
something was wrong and I decided my combat experiences may be the root
cause. At a V. A. Outpatient Clinic I was diagnosed and started to receive
treatment for PTSD. Anxious to understand what had happened to me, I
started looking for more information about it. A fellow veteran
recommended "Recovering From The War by Patience H. C. Mason.
I can't say enough good things about this book for anyone suffering
from the symptoms and effects of PTSD. My wife and I both have a better
understanding of why I could go into a rage in an instant, my difficulty
concentrating due to intrusive thoughts and memories, the nightmares about
Vietnam, why I had so much trouble sleeping and why I would get up at
night and walk around the house.
The treatment I'm receiving and this book have been a tremendous
help. I would highly recommend this book to any veteran.
